Sunset Concerts at the Skirball: Maria de Barros July 21, 2011

Kick off the season with singing sensation Maria de Barros, whose famed godmother, Cesaria Evora, first put Cape Verde on the musical map. Adding French, Spanish, and Caribbean touches, de Barros sings the African and Brazilian–inflected coladeiras and bluesy mornas of her native land. Come be intoxicated by her songs of love and life, which are simultaneously poetic, danceable, and joyful.
